Lyrics

We were gathered 'round the garbage can Passing 'round the bottle We were cold and burning anything That was dry enough to burn A shaking man said he'd left his family back in Boston And I knew I'd hear a whole lot more Before it came my turn The bearded man in his army coat Said, "The answer boys is Jesus" The one called Joe said, "All I know is Ain't January hell" One guy said, "Let's have a drink To Flagstaff, Arizona" And I thought I might freeze to death Before I'd get to tell About Mobile Bay, magnolia blossoms Cool summer nights, warm rolling sea And all my dreams, somewhere I'd lost them Mobile Bay, magnolia leaves Sweet Rosalie The sun was barely coming up On the wrong side of Chicago And I was cold and hungry And all the wine was gone People passed and pointed, said "There's another wino" They didn't know that one more time My dreams would take me home Back to Mobile Bay, magnolia blossoms Cool summer nights, warm rolling sea And all my dreams, somewhere I'd lost them Mobile Bay, magnolia leaves Sweet Rosalie Mobile Bay, magnolia blossoms Cool summer nights, warm rolling sea And all my dreams, somewhere I'd lost them
